The boiler in the Kirby house, Mil.

Office Of the Sentinel, exploded, knocking
the rear of the hotel building entirely
out. Several girls working in the Senti-
mel Office were slightly injured. As soon
as the steam had cleared away. great
ragged rent was seen in the walls OF the
Kirby house, abutting on the alley, where
the screams OF women mingled With The
sound of breaking glass and falling
bricks. Miss Langly, employed in the
composing room Of the Sentinel, told a
very good story Of the affair: Il was
alone in the composing room with d
young boy, when terrible noise was
heard. was lift d of my feet and ai
the same time every window in the ky
light was shattered. The plastering fell
all around me, but not where stood.
The boy cried, ''an earthquaker' ! was
too startled TO realize what it was, but
made my way down stairs as quickly o,
possible. The force was 50 great That
many Of the cases in the composing ioom
were 'pied.'" Mrs. Gage, the second
cook Of the hotel, was killed, and several
girls injured, who may die from theii
wounds.

MOST GUILTY.

When the trial, 10 New York, Of Johu
Most, the noted anarchist, was resumed,
his counsel, Mr.. Howe, arose and dis.
claimed, on the part of his client, any
connection with or knowledge Of the
threatening letter sent to Judge Cowing.
He expressed the belief that il was sent
by some enemy Of Most's to prejudice his
case. Most was then calltd TO the wit.

At the conclusion Of Most's testimony
both sides announced that they had no
more evidence 10 offer. Judge CowinE
said he would limit each side to Que hour

A MONSTER DIES.
Csnfessisn Of a sonth Carolina sian Who
Killed Three Wives #.

E. Hs4 AEt n
An account Of Stephncy Bailey's in
human butchery and burning Of his wife,
and OF Bailey's subsequent death 10 the
Berkeley, s. G., county jiil from the eff
fects OF wounds inflicted by himself in,
an attempt TO commit suicide, has been
published. Before be died, Bailey made
confession to the editor Of the Berkeley
Gazette, making himself ont to be thrice
murderer, and vrritable Bluebeard.
The confession was made inthc presence
Of Jailer Harris. At that time the mur-
derer was perfectly rational but possibly
felt the death chill and concluded to un-
eosona himself before it was forever too
late. The following is Bailey's confes-
sion: my name is Stephncy Bailey. /
am about 10 years old. / have been
married three times. / killed my first
wife with club. Her name was Cath
crime. buried her in the garden, and
otter while it was found out, and the
people dug her up and buried her in the
graveyard. She had six children for me.
My second wife's name was Mary.
killed her with brick by hitting h,r in
the head. will not tell what did with
her body. She had one child for me,
boy. His nameis Sabey. don't know
where he is. My third wife's name was
Sallie. My wife and / had not been
on good terms for three or four weeks.
That day / laid in wait for her in foot
path, and as she came along Lit her in
the head with an ak and killed her, and
dragged her body in the bushes until
that night. Then / sent my boy to the
yard for wheelbarrow, and when he
came ! sent him back to the house Thea
l put the body in the wheelbarrow and
carried it about mile, and put it in the
furnace. AT sunrise ! started the fire,
and about or 9o'clock it was found out.
Sallie had seven children for me-" Itap-
pears that these previous buteheries Of
Bailey's were known to those who were
in authority at the time, but that time
was during the darkest days of South
Carolina's history, during the days soon
after the War, and nothing was ever
done with the recently enfranchisci
elector. In making this confession, Bal
ley evinced no repentance for his ;nhu-
man murders, and, so hard had he be-
come in crime, that he had forgotten the
details and dates Of his former butcher.
les. He was buried on the town com
mons, near the graves Of Scott, the exc
cuted murderer, and Giarrctti, the MUIR
derer-suicide.

BIG TINE FOR FORT WORTH.
WIN the "Queen CITY, Take Advantasssof
the Opportunity.

the Opportunity.
GALVESTON, : TX March IS 1857.
To the Editor OF The Gazette.
The question of holding q big state or
inter state military drill at Fort Worth.
during May or June of this year, meets
the hearty approval and support of the
militia here, and also at other points that
l have visited since on this trip, which has
now been about five days. North Texas
has never had such q thing as q grand
military encampment, and it would be of
great value TO any city in that part of the
state to have one. l have interviewed
gentlemen who were interested in the
big drill held here last August, and they
claim that 1t attracted in all, about
10000 visitors 10 this city during the
week of the drill. It is estimated that
there were $500, 600 left in Galveston by
these visitors. Galveston has only two
lines of railways entering the city; that
is, only two roads have tracks laid, al
though four lines are supposed to do
business in the city, and they 90, but all
over two tracks. Now, take Fort Worth
SIS point at which to hold big drill, and
a moments reflection will prove that her
raiIrOad facilities and the thickly popu-
lated country around her would guaran-
tae the largest attendance of visitors CT
any enCampment ever held in Texas, or
any state in the south; that is, providing
the encampment is gotten up properly
and managed likewise. l have
met and COnverSed with q
large number OF business men, and
members OF military companies Of this
city and they are all unanimous in their
desire to see the city of Fort Worth, aud
declare that If big drill is held there
that there would be at least 5000 visitors
to attend it from Galveston if reasonable
| transportation can be had. North Texas
itself would more than OVERT wv every
avenue and street OF our beautiful city
with its streams Of visitors, who would
come TO view the soldiers arraYed in their
uniforms Of blue and grey and listen to
the fife and drum on the battlefield where
smiles take the place of tears. And those
wearing the cOIors that were once raised
against each other will mingle together
as brothers upon d field Of merrimeDt,
and Will be privileged to whis-
tie the tune of Dixie foI
the Star-Spengled Banner without
any need Of g. body guard to protect
them. An encampment would help Fort
Worth, and the money placed in such IN
entertainment will bring back $40 on
| every dollar invested, directly and indi-
rectly. With the drill let there also be q
big Indian war dance and game of ball.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as l have not much
more time in which to write, will close
by saying: Fort Worth has a good
opportunity of showing herself of in
good shape. VIII she accept it?
l will add that a business man told me
to-day that his house contemplated
starting branch business in Fort Worth
in the near future. it will be a branch
from one OF the largest establishments in
Galveston. GRAVY VILE H. MARTIN.
